Summary
Abominable, pale creatures which inhabit the
Ruins of Tyrhhia across
Lake Yath from
Baharna. Wamps are universally reviled by the inhabitants of
Oriab, but fortunately are unwilling or unable to leave their home. Some say that they are what ended the original inhabitants of the great city, while others propose that the residents of Tyrhhia eventually became Wamps themselves through foul magic or corruption.
Sometimes, at night, you can hear them singing even from Baharna.
Predatory and vampiric, Wamps feed on the blood of other creatures to survive. It's said in ancient writings that the method through which they exsanguinate their victims will bring even the greatest warrior to tears, but even adventurers who have fought the creatures and survive are usually hesitant to give specifics. Wamps themselves possess no blood at all, instead sustained by a pale, translucent liquid that runs beneath their ghost-white skin. This liquid, and the hides themselves, are particularly valued by the residents of Baharna, who possess techniques to craft it into Ghost Leather. The danger involved in gathering the necessary ingredients and its unique properties both make this material highly valued throughout the Dreamlands.
